Most Common Rosacea Triggers And What To Do About Them
The rosy red glow of rosacea on your cheeks can be long-lasting and embarrassing. But what causes it? There are many rosacea triggers, and each sufferer needs to learn his or her particular causes. But sometimes it can be a mystery.
The editors at Lifescript.com talk to skin specialists and dermatologists to learn the 9 most common rosacea triggers.
So what’s on the list? Spicy foods, for one. Hot beverages can be another. Strenuous exercise, stress, and even hot baths can all contribute to the red, ruddy breakouts. Extreme weather (hot or cold) can dilate blood vessels, also contributing to outbreaks. And alcohol, dehydration, and stimulants can also cause rosacea’s redness.
So what’s a rosacea sufferer to do? You can’t just live in a cave, right?
Some tips:
- To avoid the spicy-food trigger, try spices such as cumin and oregano that add a great deal of flavor without the red-inducing spiciness.
- To avoid the hot-bath trigger, keep the water to body temperature, or a temp that you don’t have to acclimate to.
- To avoid the strenuous-exercise trigger, be sure to warm up gradually – give yourself at least 5 minutes before you pick up the pace. And work out in a cool environment – an air-conditioned room, or early in the morning. Also, try to work out for shorter periods but more often.
- To avoid the dehydration trigger, always remember to bring water with you everywhere, and sip throughout the day. Your urine should be clear-colored if you’re well-hydrated. Cold water in particular can do double-duty for rosacea sufferers because it helps keep blood vessels from dilating.
